Carpal tunnel release using the KnifeLight technique: An alternative to endoscopic approach?

Introduction And Importance: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is caused by compression of the median nerve, leading to both sensory and motor dysfunction in the hand. Traditional open carpal tunnel release (CTR) is a proven treatment but often results in longer recovery times, visible scarring, and postoperative issues like pillar pain. Endoscopic techniques, while reducing recovery time and limiting incision size, present risks such as incomplete ligament release and possible nerve injury.

A rare occurrence of a giant synovial sarcoma in the plantar region of the foot: A case report.

Unlabelled: Introduction and Significance. Synovial sarcoma, accounting for 7-8 % of malignant sarcomas, typically manifests in adulthood, but it is noteworthy that adolescents and children make up 30 % of reported cases. Contrary to its name, this malignancy often originates from multipotent stem cells rather than the synovium.

Juxta articular myxoma of the foot: An exceptional entity.

Introduction: Myxoma, a benign and uncommon tumor, is primarily characterized by undifferentiated spindle cells and a myxoid matrix with muscular infiltration. While the intramuscular form is predominant, the juxta-articular variant is rare, especially in the foot. Juxta-articular myxomas had a heightened risk of recurrence post-surgical excision, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies.

Deep Brain Stimulation for Dystonia: Experience of a Moroccan University Hospital.

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established procedure that provides long-term symptom control of the third most common movement disorder: dystonia. In this study, we aim to report the experience of Ibn Rochd University Hospital in the treatment of dystonia using DBS of the globus pallidus internus, which represents an exceptional challenge for a developing country such as Morocco.

Methods: Since 2013, we selected five eligible candidates for DBS surgery at the university hospital Ibn Rochd.

Disastrous evolution of ollier disease: a rare case report.

Unlabelled: Ollier disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple enchondromas. The clinical manifestations of the disease vary widely, but patients often present with bone deformities and an increased risk of developing chondrosarcoma. Here, the authors present a case report of a 25-year-old male patient with a devastating and historic evolution of Ollier disease.

A remarkable and aggressive aneurysmal bone cyst ravaging the femoral shaft, advancing to lung metastases: An extremely rare case.

Introduction And Importance: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are relatively uncommon tumor-like lesions that require careful management. Reporting such cases is crucial to highlight the importance of understanding the physiopathology and treatment options associated with ABCs. Literature-based writing emphasizes the significance of reporting cases like the one presented here.

A solitary giant osteochondroma of the femur in the shape of a devil's head pushing back the superficial femoral artery: Case report and literature review.

Introduction: The most common benign bone tumors are osteogenic exostoses or osteochondromas. They occur during growth and are rarely the cause of vascular or nervous complications.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a young 34-year-old patient who consulted for a swelling in his right thigh.

A rare case and unusual localization of a poorly differentiated giant synovial sarcoma of the ankle: Case report and literature review.

Introduction: Synovial sarcoma is a rare and aggressive soft tissue tumor that affects the para-articular regions of the large joints. It originates from mesenchymal cells with synovial differentiation. Its management remains surgical with wide excision.

A rare case of bilateral antero-internal shoulder dislocation in a judo player: a case study and review of the literature.

Pure anterior bilateral shoulder dislocations are rare clinical features, especially in traumatic forms. They are most often posterior, occurring during an epileptic seizure. Few cases are described in the literature, and the mechanism varies from case to case.
